    So, in a year he'll be better?

    Two?
    I dont know, it will depend on how much Tiago improves this summer, and what kind of work and PT Mitch gets in this season. Anything could happen. Getting on the right team, with the right fit, with the right players is always luck, so who knows. I think that If Mitch comes in and improves each year by year 4 he will be better than Tiago in his 4th year. Does that mean Tiago wont be better than him at that point in time, maybe not, but I think that Mitch does have a higher ceiling, and if utilized correctly, does the right things on and off the court, he will have a better INDIVIDUAL CAREER that Tiago.

    What about you? Do you think that Tiago will get any better?

    Wow, we really got into their heads. Too bad whatever they do, they will still fall short of filling all of their needs (entire bench, starting point, second dependable scorer, better coach)

    Dunno, dude. I went to a Big Ten school and watch a lot of Big Ten games. I like Mitch McGary -my team recruited him hard for a while - but I see his ceiling as pretty low. What you see is not far from what you'll ever get. A banger, a nuisance, a high energy guy with some skills, but that's it. Meanwhile Splitter is an elite, plus defender.

    So, yeah.

    Just curious, what are the proper stretching methods before and after games? I've read somewhere that Dynamic is better before.

    Lets face it, Riley and the Heat are determined and focus to build a team that could beat the current Spurs and to take out the le from us, also Thunder and others will look for it, we can't disrespect that if we want not to return on past mistakes that cause us to fail repeating time after time... We must find a way to get better, make upgrade, not to stay pot... For me it say first of all to go after Paul Pierce, i think we need him...

    ha, you probably want to do a mix of all, with more dynamic than others, pending upon who you are, your flexibility etc. The whole thing is a joke really, Im just making fun of tiago having no vert, and coordination.

    Exactly. The idea of a "Big 3" is a total misnomer. It has always been the Miami LeBrons and his band of Ringchasing Tag-alongs

    The Pacers can beat them.. They just need to get their heads out of their asses and man the up.. I know everyone will deny now that it is possible but the Heat have so many flaws.
    To your point pacers had them beat until they went away from there post players who simultaneously raped the heat lol.

    Things are not looking good for the rest of the league. The Heat should be able to add another legitimate piece now.

    The rest of the NBA executives must be severely pissed. They should facilitate a Kevin Durant trade to the Spurs for peanuts just out of spite.
    And pay him under the table. That would piss in a lot of peoples corn flakes lmao

    It's amazing how LeBron controls the Heat. You want Napier we'll draft him. You want us to restructure everyone's contracts...even Haslem... no problem. Arison and Riley jumping through hoops for James. What's going to be sad is when he bolts and Riley and Arison pen their hate letters like the Cavs owner Dan Gilbert.

    I know you were joking in regards to Tiago, but since you seem to know about that stuff, I thought that I'd ask.

    I used to do static stretches, but changed to dynamic before playing about a year or so ago (I'm not a professional or anything, just play for fun these days). After games/sport I still use static. Just curious on your opinion on proper stretching. I never used to take stretching seriously when I was younger, but I know that it makes a big difference in regards to helping you not get injuries if you do it right.

    The problem with the Heat, and I said that this is a real problem, is that they are so focused on Lebron. Wade and Bosh can't really compare to Lebron when it comes to effectiveness. In a team like that, you are basically handicapped by THE most important player in the team. Compared to the Spurs, where the Big 3 may or may not over eclipse one another, but they are more evenly pared out. Not to say that players like Kawhi, Green, Splitter are key components in the defensive scheme of things. Throw in the intangibles like Diaw and Mills, Spurs is really about team ball; where no one is especially 'favored' over the rest. So I see Heat to continue play to Lebron's demands and wishes, and when he bolt, he will create such a vacuum in the center that is hard to filled for years. I think Pop knows this all along and he schemed the team to play bball like that the whole season.

    The Thunder need massive upgrades to the bench. I would start Jackson, WB, KD, Adams and Ibaka. Amnesty Perkins (probably unlikely) and take my chances with a bench that has Lamb and Collision and use the MLE to go after someone like Mo Williams or Shaun Livingston.

    If the reported Max deal for Lebron, and $75-80 million deal for Bosh (and probably for Wade) is true, then the big 3 would make something like $46 million next year with Napier, Anderson, Allen, Lewis, Haslem and probably Hamilton making $ 8 million (roughly) thats $54 for 9 players ($55 including Cole, who is their only trade chip) That leaves $8 million to sign 3 players.

    It would seem hard for them to make a major improvement.

    Pierce is done and he'd likely go to L.A.C.

    Actually I am more wary of Clippers than Thunder. Clippers is much better coached than Thunder even though Thunder got the better individual players in Westbrook and Durant and of course the Thuderrefs.

    Clippers should have taken out Thunder in the Western Semis if not for some stupid CP3 choke and the zebras. Doc River is a much better coach than Brooks when it comes to playoffs.

    Yep, I remember that one game in the playoffs that Splitter played out of his mind. One would think that a 10 million a year player wouldnt have so many fans calling him elite when he puts up a RARE 17/12 night. That's the sad part. That you can find, and get excited about WHAT HE SHOULD BE DOING NIGHTLY FOR 10 MILLION A YEAR. Hes a career 8 and 5 guy. You know what's funny? He did that on Dirk, the DEFENSIVE KING OF THE WEST.

    Then you have a guy that makes 800k a year, and does virtually the same thing, in the same series

    Splitter is fine, for about 6 million a year. Calling him elite, or saying he is worth the money isnt even rational

    Yet the stats support every ones else conclusion that Splitter is a Top 3 post defender in the league. Please do some reading before making an argument. Stats don't lie and Spurs def eff being in top 3 since he was moved to the starting line up conclude what the rest of us here know about Splitter.
